Re: [groovy-dev] line/column number in error output

Hi Petr

The first case is a compile error - the second is a runtime error. It 
appears the line numbers are not being correctly put into the bytecode 
so that the stack trace includes the line number information; this is 
strange as I thought this worked, but we might have broken something. We 
should raise an issue in JIRA for this
